•Children with ADHD: had to have a formal diagnosis of ADHD (made by a paediatrician or psychiatrist using recognised diagnostic procedures e.g. DSM-IV). Children continued prescribed medication for ADHD. Parents were asked not to change their child's medication during the study. One parent/primary caregiver also needed to available to participate in the intervention delivery.
•Typically-Developing Playmates: did not have a diagnosis of ADHD and no concerns were raised by parents or teachers about the children’s development.
•The Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scales (CCBRS; Conners, 2008) was used as a screening measure to confirm the presence or absence of ADHD symptoms. Children with ADHD needed to score above the clinical cut off (T-Score >70) and playmates needed to score below the borderline clinical cut off (T-score <65).

•The study commenced at the time of the DSM-IV. Children with ADHD were excluded if they were diagnosed with other major neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorders (e.g. intellectual disability)as well as ADHD.
•Playmates were excluded if they scored above the clinical cut off on the CCBRS.
